2022 Map of Shepherds

About this map

Statesville and Mooresville anchor the northern and southern boundaries of this Iredell County landscape, where small rural communities are connected by a web of creek-side roads. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Third Creek and Withrow Creek, which carve out the subtle ridges housing established settlements like Ostwalt, Troutman, and Shepherds. This survey reveals the transition between expanding town centers and the traditional agriculture-based geography of the Piedmont, where family-named landmarks such as Kerr Branch and Cornelius Creek persist.
